Welcome to Now Playing!!! Today, we’re holding hands and braiding hair. Just kidding, we’re talking about world conquest, Catherine the Great style (available on Hulu).
Episode summary:
In Episode 1.3 of "The Great," titled "And you Sir, are no Peter the Great," the plot intertwines Catherine's covert coup efforts with Peter's struggle to uphold his father's legacy. Catherine's determination to lead a coup gains traction, despite Orlo's concerns, and she uses Peter's insistence that she takes a lover as a tactical advantage. Peter, obsessed with outdoing his father's achievements, fumbles with an unrealistic war plan and fears failure. The seamless intertwining of these storylines is punctuated by moments that showcase Peter's insecurity and Catherine's burgeoning assertiveness. She forges an alliance with Leo, the lover Peter appointed for her, while publicly humiliating Peter under the guise of gratitude for his misguided gift.
